With five goals in the English Premier League in September, Eden Hazard was named the " Player of the month ". But Chelsea fans and people all over the world were more interested in Hazard's dream of playing for a 'Spanish Club' in the future. When he was recently asked about his ambitions to win the Ballon d'Or and become the best, he agreed that he needs to play for a Spanish Club and the reason why he wants to go to Spain.
Eden Hazard's red-hot form this year makes him one of the best players in the world. He has always maintained his dream of playing for Real Madrid and left hints numerous times since this summer. Although he ruled out a move in the winter transfer window, let's quickly evaluate the three vital reasons why Eden Hazard seems perfect for Real Madrid.
#1 Eden Hazard is the most ideal replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo
Eden Hazard is ripping apart opposing defences at will every week and looks unstoppable at times. He already proved his credentials when his brilliance pushed Belgium into a third-place finish in the World Cup and he is the most influential player for Chelsea this season. He has already proved himself in the toughest of situations, against the toughest opponents.
Unlike Chelsea who are unbeaten this season, Real Madrid are in a bit of slump. For the first time in 21st Century, they failed to score in over 400 minutes and failed to win their last four consecutive matches. Real Madrid attacking line up includes the likes of Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema but they have failed to deliver at the moment.
Although it would be improbable to replace someone like Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard seems to be the wisest choice. Marco Asensio is miles behind Eden Hazard and Vinicius Jr. is too young to cement his place on the left flank. Considering how things stand, Eden Hazard would be the only possible choice for the Los Blancos.
#2 Lack of penetration against deep defensive teams
It's evident with Real Madrid's recent form that they have failed to broke down deep blocking teams numerous times this season. The quality of chances is extremely low and so is the number of shots on target. Their recent results against Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, CSKA Moscow and Alaves suggests that they have failed to break down defensive lines and are in a desperate need of someone like Eden Hazard.
It seems the Real Madrid playmakers and attackers are clueless whenever they face closed spaces and increased number of barriers. On the other hand, Hazard is doing just that in English Premier League consistently. He has more goals than any of Real Madrid players and his willingness to be the unstoppable force has kept Chelsea unbeaten till now.
Eden Hazard's inclusion will not only increase the number of goals but also, increase the number of chances created. Real Madrid will open up defences more easily with him on the team and help Real Madrid find their firepower in front of goal.
#3 Lack of ball players in the team
The absence of Isco and Marcelo has hampered Real Madrid's season badly. Their ability to dribble in closed spaces and pick players upfront with their vision was missed badly in these last few matches. It's not a coincidence that the quality of chances created as measured by xG drops by 40% in the four La Liga games that Isco and Marcelo has missed this season.
Eden Hazard needs no introduction when we talk about dribbling and vision in the final third. He is one of the rare classical dribblers who can break free at will even in high-pressure situations. His transfer to Real Madrid would increase their depth, consistency in the final third and the goals that they lack at the moment.
Eden Hazard has all the ability to become Real Madrid's next 'Galactico'. Neymar Jr. is another one of the options but Hazard's humble mentality would suit more in the chaotic environment of Santiago Bernabeu.
Since Hazard has not signed a contract yet, Florentino Perez's obsession with Neymar Jr. would cost more in times a new stadium is on the way. It would only be reasonable that Real Madrid look towards Eden Hazard as their new star who can lead their attack against the best teams in the world.
